Ten Key Calculator

This 10-key calculator works like a desktop adding machine used in accounting: type an amount and press + (or Enter) to add it, − to subtract. Every entry goes on the tape with a running total, and you can print or copy the tape.

Worked example

Example: totaling three receipts

  1. Type 24.99 and press +
  2. Type 103.50 and press +
  3. Type 12.25 and press −
  4. The total shows 116.24

Total 116.24 with a three-line tape.

Formula

Total = Σ entries (with sign)

Amounts are added with exact cent arithmetic so the total never shows floating-point errors like 0.30000000004.
